to get on its feet again. A corps of engin;,
GERS are engaged in resurveying the old
route and are now at some point between
Walhalla and Clayton. One of the corps
passed through Walhalla Tuesday, seek
ing information about the road.
We understand that this survey is being
made by a syndicate of Northern capital
lists, who are interested in the Cumberland
coal mines. 1t isreported that this compa-
ny intends building the road, if it can get
the rights and franchises belonging to the
charter, and if the survey shows the cost
not too great. A survey five years back
showed that nearly or about 81 per cent:
of the work had been done on the old
route, and that it was of a solid and per-
manent character. Taking this to be true,
we could hardly think that the compile
ton of the greatest thoroughfare in the
South at one-third the original cost would
not pay. The road would traverse a rich
country, both in minerals and agriculture
and at Knoxville would connect with the
great Northwest WulhaNn Courier.

Commissioner Black. The claimant is Mrs. Mary Casey of Washington, Ohio. Her hus- band, John Casey, served during the revolu. tion in the Virginia line He died in 1S45 at the age of seventysfve. A few years prior he was married to Mary Cox, then sixteen years old. Ten years ago Mrs. Casey filed her application for a pension, but it was pigeon-holed on some teehnicality and was but recently called to Commissioner Blacks attention. No valid reason existed for the delay, and the claim was allowed,
 A novel defense was lately set up in the Lord Mayors court London) before the re- corder by defendant conducting his own case, called on to repay es7O lent him during and after trial, in which he was prosecuted by the Great Eastern railway company for stealing quantity of silk, and being con- victed was sentenced to seven years penal servitude. Subsequently his innocence was established and he received the queens par which he had not committed. He then commenced an action for malicious persecu- tion against the railroad company, but it was ruled that having been convicted he was dead in the eyes of the law, and could not sue. He now contended that if he was legal ly corpse and could not sue, neither could he be sued. He had lost all his money, and in consequence of the action of his prosecutors was now e900 in debt. The recorder was puzzled by the unexpected de- fense and took time to consider it.

HIGGINS FOREVER.

It is evident that we have not heard the last of Higgins, though the President has not been Officially informed" of any of his mis- deeds. AS will be remembered, charges have been filed against him which have not been answered, and which cannot be answered, re- citing Higgins connection with ballot-steal- ing, ballot-substitution, and reversing the verdict of the polls by tampering with the ballot box after an election, for the "good of the party" to use his own words; of his work as an interruptions professional lobby ist; of his private character as part proprie- tor of gambling house. It is said that the decent people of Baltimore have been so much discouraged by the treatment their pro- tests have received at Washington that they have not deemed it worth while to make any representations of a personal sort to the President concerning Higgins latest infrac- ton of his order to office holders, and that this determination has been reached in con- sequence of the fact that recent protest against the appointment of two convicted criminals to minor places in the internal revenue service, forwarded to the secretary of the treasury, was not even acknowledged.
 But although the President knows nothing about Higgins Officially" he is to have his attention called to him by some of his the President's) ardent friends. The resolution concerning this matter passed by the Civil Service Reform league at Newport says: On July IA, 1886, the President addressed cir cular to certain officers of the government warning them against obtrusive partisanship, manipulation of party meetings and nomi- hating conventions, and all dictation of party action The circular was intended to correct one of the gravest of abuses in the civil serv- ice-the interference of office holders with elections. It is publicly and responsibly alleged that in the recent primary elections in Baltimore this executive order was defined by certain federal office holders. The Mary land Civil Service Reform association is re- spectfuIly requested, on behalf of the league, to investigate these charges and to report the mittee, to the end that should the facts as alleged be established, the league, through it's executive committee, in conjunction with the Maryland association, may earnestly and request the President promptly to dismiss the offenders.
 It will be very interesting to see how this affair comes out. The Maryland association will of course make the investigation and will find plenty of evidence to sustain the charges brought against Higgins and his gang. Then some of the Presidents faithful Civil Service reform supporters will tell him about the matter, and he cannot then deny that he knows about it. And then Higgins will be promptly and ignominiously "bounced"-that is, unless he isn't.
